The furnishings are old and quaint (Barry was an antique...

Lovely spotlessly clean, unusual accommodation. Barry and the two Joannes give you a great welcome and Barry is a mine of information on places to visit. The beds are very comfy and the breakfast is delicious all made to your specific requirements and at the time you request. Would definitely stay again
